Student Health App

``Reliable, relevant health advice for young adults who want to look after themselves and use medical services wisely`` (Dr Dominique Thompson, Director, Students` Health Service, University of Bristol).

Concerned about a health problem? Not sure what to do next? Too embarrassed to seek help? The Student Health App (previously known as `ESC Student`) allows you to say goodbye to frustrating, confusing and sometimes dangerous online searches for health information. What`s more, the app works offline (apart from the hyperlinks), so you can use the app on-the-go without the need for an internet connection.

How does the app help? Open the app and easily access over 900 pages packed with reliable health information - anywhere, anytime, and in private:

• Troubling health problems – check out what to do next and when to see a pharmacist, nurse or doctor
• Emergencies and general ill health – discover the truth about life-threatening illnesses as well as sleep problems, feeling stressed, and being tired all the time
• Common ailments – get to the bottom of headaches, find out how to treat your spots, and manage common aches and pains
• Mental health – find out what to do when you (or one of your friends) feel low or anxious, self-harm or are worried about drinking too much alcohol
• Useful links – get fast access to hundreds of links to useful further information

Which topics does the app cover? The Student Health App offers plain-talking reassurance, info and advice on over 125 topics relevant to students in areas such as...

> first aid & emergencies
> common ailments
> mental health problems
> physical (body) symptoms
> love and sex
> healthy living
> travel health
> alcohol & drugs
> long-term health problems
> staying safe at uni
> accessing health services…

...and more.

Is it safe? In partnership with the University of Bristol Students` Health Service, the app has been co-created by medical doctors and students and is certified by the NHS England Information Standard as a source of clear, reliable and relevant health information.

Can universities have their own version? We can customise the app for universities - visit www.expertselfcare.com for details. We also review and update the app continuously, at no extra charge.

Are other student-facing apps available? You may want to check out our `distrACT` app, offering support for young people who self-harm or feel suicidal. Other new student apps are in the pipeline, addressing student wellbeing and the needs of international students.
